EC 2.7.11.20 Details
EC number
2.7.11.20
Accepted name
elongation factor 2 kinase
Reaction
ATP + [elongation factor 2] = ADP + [elongation factor 2] phosphate
Other name(s)
Ca/CaM-kinase III, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase III, CaM kinase III, eEF2 kinase, eEF2K, EF2K, STK19
Systematic name
ATP:[elongation factor 2] phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
116283-83-1
Comment
Requires Ca2+ and calmodulin for activity. The enzyme can also be phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of EC 2.7.11.11, cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Elongation factor 2 is phosphorylated in several cell types in response to various growth factors, hormones and other stimuli that raise intracellular Ca2+ [1,2].
